Similarly, against Harlequins last Friday, we made too many basic errors against what was a very strong Quins side packed with international talent.

I’m not one for blaming individual players. Certain players have come in for a bashing on social media recently and I think that’s really out of order.

I’ve even seen calls for Dai Young to be sacked which, considering everything that he’s done for the team and the fact that, despite a few poor performances recently, we’re still top of the Premiership is quite frankly ludicrous.

The team is always more than just one or two players and I think too little credit has been given to opposing teams when they’ve really upped their games against us.

However, the dreaded “C” word has been raising its ugly head recently; I refer of course to the phrase “chokers.” It does seem sometimes that when we really need to put in a shift to make things potentially easier for ourselves, our nerve fails. We missed out on a semi-final place in the Champions Cup and we’ve left it to the last game of the season to try and grab a home semi-final for the Premiership.

Only three years ago we finished seventh, we’re now going into a guaranteed play-off sitting on top of the Premiership with our final home game at Fortress Ricoh.

Three years isn’t a long time in sport - after all of our recent upheaval and uncertainty, it’s no surprise that sometimes we have off days. We’re still growing as a club and as fans, it’s our duty to get behind our team and cheer them on every step of the way, through thick and thin.

There’s going to be over 20,000 at the Sarries game, so lets unite behind our boys and roar them to victory. Remember, the dreaded “C” word was used about the All Blacks World Cup hopes relatively recently, and they’ve turned out all right.
